    if you won world titles for exciting weigh ins and pre fight self confidence then Tony would be a world champ for years , but tony can only talk the talk he cant walk the walk , you are a back foot fighter who says you are going to destroy your opponents then go backwards during fights.:huh

    Bellew aka Bellend is your typical scouse bigmouth,they give it large and fail big time when it counts,all his bollocks about being prepared to die in the ring,and then gives a performance of a mouse,can't stand the Nookie Bear lookalike,he just shows the UK up.

    I think a lot of people on here seem to be acting nicer than they normally would because Bellew posts on here.

    I'll be honest, there are things I respect about Bellew having boxed myself. He has won several senior ABA titles so he has to be talented and hard working. He has done well as a professional as well so fair play but Stevenson has a different type of talent all together and the way Bellew conducts himself is a disgrace.

    From what I have seen Bellew consistently behaves like a play ground bully during pre fight hype, he has an incredible degree of arrogance. I mean he literally got in Chilemba's face being really aggressive throughout the build up, lost the fight convincingly and then started behaving threateningly towards him because Chilemba felt he won.

    It all back fired on him this time as he was against a better, tougher and more intimidating guy in Adonis Stevenson and you could see in the weigh in, the ring walk etc. that Bellew did not really believe he had the beating of this guy.

    I'll always respect Bellew as a boxer, anyone who doesn't know a lot about boxing but until he learns to show some class I'll never be a fan of his.

    He disappoints fans constantly with his big talk and then going on the backfoot all night. The second ovil fight was the start of him losing fans. He wouldnt shut up about the fight being a "masterpiece". He needs to respect the fans more by not letting them down every time. This means not acting like a loudmouth chav ***** and telling everyone you will die in the ring. He wanted none of stevenson at the end when he took the last left hand and pretty much quit. Where was his "im willing to die" **** there?

    Don't agree at all. He hurt Stevenson about a second before and then knocked him over with a clipping punch. Had nothing to do with legs being tangled. He had a decent go at jumping Stevenson afterwards too. Strange how he managed that if Stevenson wasn't fazed.

    Whether we get results or not, we all know that no-one becomes a wrecking machine at a higher weight at his age.

    Too be fair he wasn't that good of a fighter to begin with. His mouth was bigger than his talent.

    Tony has the chance to pick up his old Commonwealth title by making Enzo dance in his comeback to reaffirm himself as a smashing machine.

    Unfortunately Tony came up short on the night. I would of loved to see the fight go into the later rounds were Tony could of started letting his hands go a bit more as he was landings some nice shots of his own.

    Got loads of respect for Bellew. I know he gets some stick for being lively at the pressers but i think in interview he comes across really well. Decent lad.
